What does a flash hider do on an AR-15?
A flash suppressor, also known as a flash guard, flash eliminator, flash hider, or flash cone, is a muzzle device attached to the muzzle of a rifle that reduces its visible signature while firing by cooling or dispersing the burning gases that exit the muzzle, a phenomenon typical of carbine-length weapons.

What is a Smuzzle?
The ‘Smuzzle’ is a hybrid suppressor/muzzle brake that reduces recoil, sound and flash for machine guns. Army scientists have developed a combination suppressor and muzzle brake that keeps machine guns on target and quieter on the battlefield — a boon for the tactical-level soldier’s accuracy and movement.
Do suppressors reduce flash?
A sound suppressor works only on slowing down and cooling gas to reduce the sound of gunfire. A flash suppressor (or flash hider) works to reduce the visibility of flaming gas. While it’s true that a sound suppressor also reduces (or eliminates) muzzle flash, it’s a side effect of the gas containment.
Does an AR need a flash hider?
The purpose of a “flash hider” is to reduce the muzzle flash of a rifle in war so you can’t be spotted by the enemy at night when firing. They generally don’t affect muzzle climb or recoil. I’ve had several ARs without flash hiders, a heavy barrel target rifle and a post ban pencil barrel which work just fine without FHs.
